We're excited to have Lindsay profiled on Superficial as part of their Women in Horror Month series! Superficial Gallery takes Women in Horror month seriously. They know that whenever someone is trying to get themselves better known, it is a double edged sword. It’s easy to get publicity if you are well known, but it’s hard when you aren’t. They are working to turn that on its head by celebrating lesser known women in horror all February long so follow them to get to know more amazing women in the horror industry.

As a longtime listener of Making Movies is HardPodcast, I was honored to be asked by Timothy Plain and Alrik Bursell to do a call in to celebrate their 100th episode. We discuss getting a feature film made and I give them advice about just taking the leap and letting go of expectations. MMiH is a phenomenal podcast for filmmakers at every level, if you're not listening yet YOU SHOULD!

Well, time for a small update: The edit is complete! Technically it was done a few weeks ago, but I decided to make some last minute adjustments for run time and pacing. About a week ago, I delivered the film for audio mastering. In a partnership with some of our favorite filmmakers, the final audio mix for Theta States will be done by Christian Jude Grillo of Potent Media. Chris has directed numerous films (Apocalypse Kiss, Deer Crossing) and has been working in audio post-production/mastering for nearly 25 years, so trust the film is in good hands! I also delivered many of the scenes to Beatrice Sniper for post-visual FX. Beatrice has worked her special effects magic on many indie films you may have heard of recently (Black Wake, Theresa & Allison, M is for Monotheist) as well as music videos for bands the likes of BEHEMOTH!and others. An SVA graduate, she is extremely skilled in FX both on set and in post, so look forward to some of her amazing work on this. The film will also feature music from musician David Catalano, better known as Without You, I'm Hunting Them and songs from local Philly S&M band GASH! This is shaping up to be the best film we've made (so far) and can't wait for everyone to see it. It's extremely different from everything you've used to from us, with a pacing all it's own, some great dream sequences and living nightmares. We put a lot into this, working with many who we have in past, and a few people we've always wanted to, and finally got the chance! Everyone brought their best into this film, and we truly love it.It's been a long journey getting to this point, and you better believe we won't stop anytime soon! Thank you to everyone for their support (and patience) on this film. We are looking to begin submitting to festivals soon, hopefully we'll be accepted to as many as possible, and you'll all be able to see it this fall! -Manny
